I was searching ebay and I found this...

Anyone have any comments on this? It seems too good to be true. About 9 extra WHP with only a $30 product? So... discuss and inform

That's a friggin grounding wire.

 

[ZeR0c0oL5]

Yeah... I was looking at the wire thing and wondering how the hell it was supposed to add HP. What could it possibly do??

 

[budgy]

That wire is not gonna do anything, probably make you lose HP. Even the DIY grounding kits from HKS and other companies will net you like a 4-5 HP gain if you are lucky.

It's not a ground wire. It's a couple of resistors that you are supposed to use to by-pass the coolant temperature sensor, or something like that.

This causes the ECU to use a fuel map that runs the engine rich. The engine will run differently, thinking that it has never warmed up.

But whether it will run better is questionable.

You will burn more fuel in the process.

I can't believe he has sold a ton of these things that cost perhaps 10 cents in parts for $25 a pop plus $10 shipping.

Makes me almost want to go into the business.

If you run that you will trash your catalytic converter by running too rich.

you could always just put ice on your intake before you drive, and it probably wouldnt damage the engine any more than that thing would.

Is this the same as http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42604&item=2473437725&rd=1??

Can we please, for the love of all intelligent carbon based lifeforms, stop talking about cheap ECU mods for sale on eBay!!!

If you want it done right remap the ECU. Don't do crappy piggy back systems and crap.
